Miami Baseball Battles Wake Forest in Must Win Series: Live Updates, Game 1

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Are the Miami Hurricanes for real? That is the biggest question that this team has, even with the statistical and offensive light show they put on a weekly basis.

The Canes are taking on a Hungry Wake Forest team that is on the edge of making it back into the top-25, while Miami is figuring out what they still are a little over the midway point of the season.

Offensively, the Canes have one of the best in the country. They hit bombs, score runs, and it's always something happening. It's been good and sloppy at points, but still, the Canes are ironing out those issues.

Defensively, errors have hurt the team all season, while the pitching staff has been up and down all season. The consistent, however, is Rob Evans.

Evans has been a weekend starter for the Canes after the first weekend of the year. He hasn't given that spot up and has moved into the Friday hole with a 7-1 record. He is the strikeout king for the Canes and continues to grow more confident on the mound.

He get's the call against the Demon Deasons in a resume boosting series.

1st Inning:

Top: First pitch was at 7:02. The Canes get out of the first inning with some great work.

Only one hit for Evans as he gets his first strikeout of the night to close the first. On to Miami's offense.

Bottom: Three well it hit balls for the Canes, but the wind keeps them in. Up and down three.

2nd Inning:

Top: The Miami Hurricanes continue to work well with Evans on the mound. Two more Ks for the lefty as he deals.

Bottom: Another in and out for the Canes offense. Levonas is one of the best pitchers in the country and is also dealing.

3rd Inning:

Top: Evans with the clean out. He continues to only let one on base this time with a walk but he get's anther strikeout. He is working.

Bottom: Three up and down again. This pitching is proven to be outstanding, but can they adjust and start adding some hits?

4th Inning:

Top: The one thing Miami has struggled with this year has been clean fielding. So far, they have had a great defensive game for the Canes. It feels like a pin can drop right now in here. Watching a good duel and waiting for the first real strike.

Bottom: Levonas has been pitching a gem. He only has two strikeouts, but the Hurricanes continue to get under the baseball and get flyouts.

5th Inning:

Top: Evans has thrown zeros on the board and is stacking up strikeouts. Another great double play to get out of the inning. Five innings down for Evans and no single run. Canes offense needs to turn it out here.

Bottom: No outs but a runner in scoring position. The Canes take advantage of the first error of the game between the two teams. Two walks. And now a pitchers' meeting. The Canes advance a runner to third. The Canes bring a run by a swing and a miss at the plate, and get the Canes out.

Miami 1, Wake Forest 0
